Its been a long time since I've posted in the diary section...I have been so frustrated with losing weight that I've fallen off the wagon!

I've decided to give myself some mini goals...instead of that BIG goal at the end! Because it seems as if I will never get to that goal!

I took some pictures...I hate pictures! I'm not sure if I want to post them, but probably good for me to do so...so as soon as I figure out how to post them I will...
 
Good luck. I posted pictures. REally really hard to do, because like you, i hate pictures.

If at first you don't succeed, try try again. Annoying mantra, but it applies. lol
 
Today was a struggle to get into the gym....I didn't really want to go...but had my training with my trainer...I did fine once I got there, its just getting there for me!

We mixed up some new exercise....did mostly lower and abs today/did 25 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of HIIT I feel great now! I had to push myself at the gym, I wanted to really give my extra effort today...lol

my mom brought over some sushi for lunch...so we had lunch together...

I need to really get back to eating healthier...I've kind of fell off the last week...

I plan on hiking tomorrow before my gym session with my trainer...I wanted to do it today but wasn't able to do so...so I'll go in the morning....

I might go jogging later tonight...I'll probably push myself to go...need to get more cardio into my workout....
 
Wow!!! That is so much exercise! Just be careful not to overdo it so burnout doesn't follow. As quickly. We all get burnt out, but pushing to keep it going is what counts, even if you don't feel like it. I did not feel like getting up and going this morning, either, but then I realize how crappy I will feel all day for this one decision. I could feel better now, and stay in bed 20 more minutes. Or I could feel better all day, and get off my butt and hit up the gym. I decide to hit the gym and feel better all day. And later, I will feel better about myself.

So don't take it too hard, but keep up a good momentum!
 
Today wasn't too good of a day with my diet...I did real good until about an hour ago...I've been finding it real hard to keep up my healthy eating...I seem to get more hungry and the choices are starting to get boring...I go see my nutritionalist tomorrow and we will discuss why I am having such a hard time with my plateau...I keep going from 181 to 184...its crazy...I'm not eating anymore and I'm exercising a lot more...I would think it should be coming off me...I'm hating the 180's!

I did my 45 minute session with my trainer today...and managed to do 30 minutes of cardio....and then went back to the gym later to double up on my cardio since my son had tae kwon do, I decided to workout while he was...I really enjoy working out, its part of my daily routine...I just wish sometimes that I can see results quicker...I know I know...there are no quick fixes and it takes time....

I start my rotation at the hospital starting tomorrow so I should be able to do better with my eating...I always do better when I'm at work than at home...I start my externship on monday, which means I will be on the go all week and work all weekend...that means I shouldn't have as much time thinking about that chocolate chip cookie....lol

tomorrow is another day!
 
went to see the nutritionalist...come to find out...I was eating all wrong...lol I was eating a lot of foods that turn into simple sugar....so we redid my eating plan...lets see if this helps in my weight loss

Worked out today, felt pretty good...I kept thinking while working out was..."how did I let myself get this big?" it seems like I always battled with weight loss, even as a kid growing up...even when I was at my thinnest, I was still struggling with weight...I hate to think of this as a diet to lose weight...I need to look as my whole new way of living...

I've decided not to weigh myself everyday life I have been, but twice a month...every other week I will weigh in...I tend to get so discouraged with the numbers!

I'd like a chocolate chip cookie right about now! But instead I will go take a long hot bath...I've been wanting to snack more and more...I've been more hungry the last couple of weeks...not good!

until my next post...
 
this past week has been just awful. I haven't been watching what I have been eating, and I haven't been wanting to workout either...

I didn't workout for about 4 days...friday was my first day back to the gym...and I had a hell of a time working out and keeping myself motivated.

It seems I get information that clashes with one trainer to the other...what the hell is right and wrong? I'm so confused at the moment...

one trainer says...do lots of cardio...my other trainer says cut my cardio and do less than an hour...I have no freakin' clue who to listen to and who not to...

This losing weight business is some hard work...lol
 
I know its been a long time since I have posted in the diary section, it has been so crazy lately with work and my externship. I have to be honest and say that I have exercised only 4 times since the start of my extern, I really need to get my butt moving.

I enjoy the clinic that I am working in, great staff and the doctors seem very nice and easy to work with. The only thing I hate is that we have drug rep's that come in everyday and bring lunch for everyone, and let me tell you that is one hard temptation to turn down! I have eaten with them twice, and I did feel guilty for cheating (sigh) so I have started to bring my own lunch and say "No thanks" to their lunch meetings.

I got on the scale this morning and it read 180.2 which made me smile, because for the longest time I didn't think I was going to get out of this plateau, finally the numbers are starting to move down. I plan on going to the gym at least 4 days a week until I am done with my externship and then I can go everyday like I was.

I have been craving chocolate chip cookies lately, and to be honest, I'm not the cookie kinda girl...but lately I have been...its been really hard to turn the other way when there are those choco cookies in front of me...so instead of those cookies I need to be reaching for some fruit instead...

I plan on keeping my diary more current, I find that when I write down my daily activities and what I consume I do far better.
 
I finally got down to 170's...I haven't seen that number since I had my daughter...

I have finally broke that plateau, and thank god...I was going mad not losing any weight for the longest time. I didn't exercise today, except shop all day...I guess I can count that as some form of exercise... :)
But tomorrow its back to the gym!

I have a mini goal set up....I'd like to lose 10 pounds by August 15th...so I will be working hard at losing those 10 pounds!!
